In this episode of The Cred Podcast, Mack McKelvey sits down with Terry Kawaja, founder and CEO of Luma Partners and a leading voice in the ad tech industry

Terry shares his nuanced approach to decision-making: moving quickly on small matters, while deliberately hitting the “pause button” on larger decisions.  “I usually have a gut instinct right away,” he explains, “but I have a pause button now. I don’t allow myself to make a big decision quickly. I sit on it, I sleep on it, think about it. Sometimes I’ll bounce it off a few people I trust.”

Known for his objective credibility, Terry also opens up about the bold decisions he’s made in the past and how they’ve paid off. “I would rather ruffle some feathers and be right in the long run because people notice.”
